    This place HAD potential. Honestly is a catfish restaurant. They don't have a special "sauce" so their food is very bland and flavorless. The food comes very basic and with not much. If you are a ranch fan you'll understand their is a "good" ranch and an ok ranch, in this case that is the okay ranch Expect your food to come with nothing. They charge for EVERYTHING, pickles, tomatoes, peppers, anything that helps food taste better and less boring. With big competitors like Dave's, or chickF, offering all these small things included in the meal., they are setting themselves up for failure. I understand if you're charging for a premium tomato if your tomato is special. Did they grow it in the back with love and filtered water and organic dirt? No, nothing special so why charge for something so basic? I was surprised napkins were free! Now don't get me wrong, I'm no cheap-o it's just such a big inconvenience to have to think about your condiments when ordering food! Chicken was great and juicy though they did one thing right, :) but no flavor. I literally tasted the animal more than the salt in the chicken. No special drinks or any tea available. Sooo for the non soda or sugar drinkers you're out of luck! Menu is tiny on the Screen monitor in the wall so make sure to bring binoculars Oh also combos do not come with waffle fries,, they cat fish you with some regular fries which is a easy to miss mistake. COLESLAW; not much flavor feels like they added milk onto coleslaw soooo I don't suggest Good one time try for the adventure but let's move on :)

    We got the spicy chicken combo with popcorn chicken, lemon green tea and fruit tea. The fries were meh, the popcorn chicken was ok but the chicken sandwich was bomb! This isn't like one of those other chicken places that says spicy but only has a salt bae amount of pepper. This is good level of spicy that you can still enjoy it. The chicken was super juicy, the slaw and pickles adds a nice crunch. Definitely will come back to try the other chickens on their menu. Teas were good. Taste like what you would expect from a decent boba shop.

    Gotta admit, one of the main reasons I wanted to try this place out is the fun name. That & it being so close by. Glad it all worked out since it's a pretty solid chicken sandwich that'd I'd order again. ITEM'S ORDERED: Spicy Chicken on Bun TASTE: I know this is not a Nashville style chicken sandwich, but in general I'd say it's basically a very mild version of the more hot Nashville hot sandwich that you might get at say, Main Chick. Sandwich is made up of a generously sized chicken breast, slaw, some type of seasoned mayo sauce & pickles. There's quite a heavy amount of mayo, but it actually does work with bringing that savory as well as slight sweet flavor. The spice level of the chicken is not intense & you won't find yourself suffering. I like spicy foods so I would prefer a little more spice, but this more mild heat does allow you to eat though the sandwich without having your mouth on fire. I wouldn't call the chicken dry really, but it could just be a little bit more tender & a little more crisp for me. I did ask for some hot sauce on the side which is more heavy on the vinegar side. Using it lightly on the sandwich does work though as an element to somewhat cut through the heaviness. Sandwich was assembled well & looked very presentable upon opening the box. SERVICE: I called in to pick the sandwich up on my way home on an early Sunday evening. I was surprised they don't have an online ordering option like most places these days. The cashier was friendly enough with no problems. They've got their branding on point with the attractive takeout bag & box. LOCATION & PARKING: They are located right on Main St, which sometimes makes parking tricky. I found a spot right out front which is 2 hour parking (8am - 5pm). Inside is pretty basic but all very new looking as it should be for a quite new business. There's 4 tables to the right side with half booth seating. I'm very much open to coming back here to try out that walnut shrimp sandwich & of course some fries.

    This place seemed interesting. I saw the ads for the "best sandwich in town" and decided to check it out. I had the shrimp sandwich and was surprised to get a rich shrimp patty, but the thing ended up being pretty expensive before tax- and that was without a side, drink, and any other add-ons. The menu is a bit small, and they don't do anything exceedingly well. Would honestly come back if things were a bit cheaper or if the prices were justified

    Amazing chicken sandwich, the chicken alone has really good flavor and wasn’t greasy. Also I tried the wings and the spicy ones were really good (maybe ghost pepper?). Overall solid place and really good prices. Tip, easy parking in the back.

    I tried the spicy chicken sandwich and a side of cheese sticks. The sandwich is huge! For the money I think it's a pretty good value. It was fried perfectly, very juicy with a good crispy coating. Spice level was good if you're looking for a sandwich spicier than a Popeye's sandwich but not overpowering heat. Very tasty flavor. The cheese sticks were also very good and fried with a light crispy coating, and the mozzarella had the right amount of salty flavor. Overall this place was great!

    Chicken Bun Bun have the best chicken sandwich around. The Bun was soft and toasted on the grill and the chicken was cook perfect and the additional to the pickles and the cole slaw and mayo they use on the sandwich. The waffles fries were very good and crunchy.

    I like their bag packaging with the bright yellow paper bag with their cool logo on it. Happy not to get plastic packaging with my takeout. I ordered the chicken sandwich and waffle fries. I liked the flavor of the chicken but the fries tasted really greasy and bit salty. Some may be into that but not me. I’d probably come back if I’m nearby and really craving fried chicken but I may not go out of my way.

    Standard pleasant service, and REALLY GOOD FOOD! Crispy Juicy SPICY chicken sandwich, with crinkle cut fries nice and crispy too! Salted and Peppered. Wish we had one of these back home

    This place did not disappoint! Popeyes has pretty good meat but I’ve never seen a restaurant that served meat so juicy! The skin is so crispy yet the meat is so juicy. Not sure how many times I’ll use that word but it took me by surprise when I took a bite. I ordered a medium spicy chicken sandwich and spicy popcorn chicken through the self serve kiosk. You can have the option to add extra or remove any toppings such as pickles or coleslaw. Their popcorn chicken was also very crispy yet tender. Please give this place a try.

    Absolutely delicious. The sandwich was so big I ate half, but it was late at night and I wasn’t starving. The crunchiness was better than any Korean fried chicken (and I love Korean Fried Chicken)! They have lettuce wrapped option also.

    The crispy chicken burger is amazing here. Every bite is steaming hot and the house sauce is tasty. That also means you will be very very thirsty. Also, Watch out for the long wait time because they make it from scratch. It took 15-20 mins for two burgers and we were the only ones there.

    There's a self order kiosk, or you can talk to the worker to order. The chicken sandwich is flavorful, meat is juicy, and such a massive portion. Prices were not crazy either and pretty inexpensive. Fries were a little oversalted and not evenly seasoned but not bad.

    Food is delicious!! I've ordered here many time. It is top 5 of my fast food cravings. We did a Howling Ray contest at home and overall we like the flavor and the juicy chicken at the Buns better at Howling. It can get spicy but it is so good that I can't stop myself. Order spicy at your risk. Service is great-That is the reason I finally posted. I was really really happy to get my exact order after the online ordering messed it up. He really did me in a favor! I appreciate it. The place is clean and usually have seatings. You can also order from a kiosk so that helps out with the queue.
